INTERVIEW. Energy Minister Tinne Van der Straeten (Green): “If it is up to me, we will only reduce VAT on electricity and not on gas”

If Energy Minister Tinne Van der Straeten (Green) could decide alone, she would permanently lower the VAT on electricity to 6% and not touch the VAT on gas. Once prices fall again, she would increase the excise tax on polluting energy. You know, that excise “which replaces the duties and is now a regulator”. “Who never has a bad day? I don’t think anyone.”
